All lives do matter.

Recently in the news, people have been hearing the expression all lives matter. This applies to everyone weather it be male, female, race and sexual orientation of a person. Everyone's life should always matter because if a person were to say black lives matter it would be implying that only the lives of African Americans matter whereas the lives of no one else matter as much. Even police lives matter. They are people too. They risk their lives to help make our lives and society a more calm and peaceful environment and put away those who cause harm behind bars for many years. The latest incident of having all lives matter is in the Dallas shooting where police officers were killed. No matter what the situation is everyone's life should be mattered and should never be discriminated against. By showing that all lives matter this shows that people are accepting to everyone and not just ti one race of people or to one specific religion or to one group of people based on sexual orientation. In my opinion everyone's lives should always matter and everyone should be treated equally and not be treated with prejudice or hatred. If all lives mattered the amount of violence and hatred in the world would not exist as much however there would be some but not as much thus the world would be much safer to travel without living in that constant fear or saying what if. A lot of the reasons why people don't follow the all lives matter movement is because others feel like just black lives matter but that's not true. Everyone matters and everyone's life matters. If this happened then racism and violence in the country and across the world would cease to exist as well as the end of terrorist groups like ISIS from carrying out future attacks. Together everyone can help make the phrase all lives matter trend across social media and worldwide.

African Americans lives do matter too, I'm not saying they should be ignored I'm saying we need to band together to make people get the message that everyone's life is important in every state, every country, and in every city worldwide. Once everyone understands this message then the world can be back to its peaceful old self and there wouldn't be this constant fear of looking out for your safety. One day the movement will pick up steam and then everyone will want to make your opinion matter. Make your voices heard today join the all lives matter campaign. By joining you show support of everyone no matter how different they are from you. Come and show your support today for everyone.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
